Weinberger's tenants complained he is hard to find, using corporate entities on building paperwork such as 2025 Regent LLC - the registered owner of 2025 Regent Place in Flatbush.

"He never comes in here," said Cheryl Boatwright, president of the 2025 Tenants Association. "You don't know who to complain to. In my house, the mice come out of the holes and look at me like I am crazy. The waterbugs are trying to run me out of here."
